Since you're running OS X, have you tried AppleScript?
tell application "System Events"
tell application process "4th Dimension"
set frontmost to true
end tell
-- send the keystrokes
keystroke "q" using {command down}
delay 3
set app4d to every application process whose name contains "4th
Dimension"
if app4d is not {} then
tell application process "4th Dimension"
set frontmost to true
end tell
keystroke "q" using {command down}
end if
end tell
I've used an applescript application containing the above code to restart 4d
occasionally.
You can also do shell commands to do the kill all. I just don't know if you can
launch a script applications form php. I know you can from launchd. It should
run with the same privileges as the 4d process, if not I've seen authentication
stuff in scripts.
